WINTER BASKETBALL
It's GVBL Tip-off Weekend
The GVBL winter rec league is underway with a full set of games in all divisions on Friday and Saturday. All rosters and schedules are available in the GVBL app or the Basketball News and Updates page on GVCO.org.
Thanks goes out to everyone involved in our GVBL community basketball league...coordinators, coaches...and most of all parents for getting your kids involved! A big thank you to GVSD and the Phelps School for allowing us into their facilities. We are all "guests" so let's treat the facilities properly.
Standings are not kept in the Girls 1st/2nd & Boys 1st/2nd divisions but are in the other divisions. Games in the first two weekends are considered "Pre-season" games and will not count towards the standings. This is to assure that everyone involved, players, coaches and spectators have a chance to "adapt" to the new season. Remember that in our GVBL rec league, we strive to teach the game of basketball, through generally equal playing time, while having fun.
Covid Measures
The "Covid Guidelines" were messaged in the previous Around the Rim and on the GVCO.org website. We will follow the guidelines of the State, County and most of all the facilities that we play in. Simply put, we are going to do as we are asked. The GVSD currently requires that anyone in any of their facilities are required to wear a mask while in the building. This includes coaches, players and fans. GVBL does not have a policy - we do not have the resources to police this - and asks that each and every person complies with the rules outlined by the facility owners.
Weekly news will follow in the Around the Rim Newsletters. New and/or returning families can Subscribe or resubscribe for them.

GVCO Community Partnership |

Philadelphia is the nation's poorest big city with nearly 300,000 children living in poverty across the region. Cradles 2 Crayons Philadelphia has a reach that goes well beyond the borders of the city itself.

Chester County, including the Malvern area, is included in the region in which C2C is having an impact. GVCO is once again partnering with C2C, hosting our 3rd Annual Donation Drive. Reaching out to our Great Valley community in an effort to help those right here in our area.
Part of C2C's mission: "Our whole focus is to make our collaborative process as easy and streamlined as possible. This helps us to empower the children we serve collaboratively — at home, at school, and at play — by providing the everyday essentials that match their individual needs." GVCO's reach here in the community, coupled with C2C's ability to reach those in need is the perfect partnership for our GVCO Caring Hands foundation.
Childhood poverty is a serious nationwide issue and the local area is not immune. Without adequate and appropriate clothing, children face unfair barriers and participate in life on an unequal playing field. Cradles to Crayons uses the term “Clothing Insecurity” as part of our efforts to formally recognize the issue, and increase awareness on this hidden basic need.
GVCO is proud to be partnering with such a worthy organization in helpng C2C reach its inspiring mission and goals.

Me, "Greatest thing I'll ever be"

What GVCO provided for me and the girls CAN NOT be overstated. Picking them up after school, getting to practice/games, out to eat, hanging with other parents, etc. We got to interact/experience a bit of actual day/day life on life's terms. Nothing takes the place of being there and for sure some things would have been different. So many experiences, "Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want". I got to play Dad and coach...and the girls had a role model.
Know that GVCO has made a difference in the lives of my daughters and myself. That is very noble.
